I agree... AccidentalDresser, I think we'd all much rather read your own personal experiences even if they're a lot less glamorous.

I dunno, even 'Probably' has traces of cuteness.

With Debenhams and M&S it's part of their equality policy to treat us properly. So if the SA's aren't friendly, they at least won't be rude.

Ah that's nice, they treated you right but they also teased you a little bit.

I'm constantly on the lookout for any item of clothing that can be considered ambiguous and could be adopted for my real world look. If it falls into that category, I remember it.

Out grocery shopping last week I became irritated because a tall woman was blocking my access to the washing powder. Then I thought, 'That's interesting, she's wearing the same shoes as the sister I...

I can cross my legs easily and always did so quite naturally, until my favourite woman colleague told me last year that sitting like that exascerbated back problems, so I stopped. And to give her...

I've thought about this a lot - if I'd realised, say, in 1992, that 20 years later it wouldn't have gone away and that I would have finally failed to convince myself that I was 'just a...

Usually I always speak my mind in these situations, though I'm still saying things like 'They are not perverts' rather than 'We are not perverts.'

The one exception recently has been when I joined...

That's euro size 42 right? It's only size 8, so the answer to that is basically anywhere mainstream that sells women's shoes.



Absolutely not wishing to put you down, bobbimo, but...

Isn't 'transphobic' the word for what's being discussed here? It would only be homophobic if the poor kid in the OP had been slapped down for picking up the Gay Ken playset. Which may well exist.

I'm expecting to bump into either one of you any day now :GD:

I use your approach Lainie for all my public appearances, except that I'm a lot more cautious about girl-side buttons.

If I was in this position I'd at least try explaining that 'giving it up' rarely seems to be possible. She might not want to hear it, or believe it, but I'd at least want to say so.

In a relationship already? Tell her NOW, it'll only get worse if you don't.

Hmm, having looked back through post histories I think it's most likely that 'Lynn' has been having a bit of fun with us from the beginning.

I kind of hope that some kind of hijacking is going on there.

Put it this way, if people are succeeding in leaving it behind for good, they aren't coming back here to tell us so.

I agree - it was my knowledge of the hook-and-spin technique that raised GG eyebrows on one occasion when I was supposedly cross-dressing for laughs (but actually taking it a whole lot more...

This is weird, I was thinking earlier of starting a thread asking if there were any TG/CD secret codewords. Like Masons ask if someone is 'on the square' or people in AA will ask you if you know a...

I reckon it's got more to do with having your second toe longer than your big toe.

I'm not getting bleach spots on my best clothes. If man clothes are good for anything, it's for doing dirty jobs in.

Contrariwise, I think you started 'taming this beast' when you first had electrolysis. Only a really committed CDer would go so far and I suspect you knew that perfectly well when you made post #1....

UK posters who are willing to travel as far as the west country, may I recommend you to http://www.sophies.co.uk/

Warning, awkward first-timers may be offered a cup of tea :eek:
